This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise, creative problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration.

  • Stay informed on AI trends, tools, and best practices; share knowledge and provide training as needed
  • Document AI solution architectures, processes, and lessons learned to support ongoing knowledge growth
  • Work closely with security and compliance teams to ensure AI solutions meet relevant policies and regulations, especially for classified and sensitive environments

  • Familiarity with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques.
  • Experience working with APIs, automation scripts, or custom tool integration to operationalize AI solutions.
  • Understanding of security, compliance, and ethical considerations when implementing AI solutions—especially in sensitive or classified environments.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to define requirements, scope projects, and deliver solutions independently.
  • Experience collaborating with diverse business units to translate operational needs into technical AI solutions.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows.
